2025 On-Demand: Orthopaedic Trauma for PAs & NPs
The 2025 OTA PA/NP Orthopaedic Trauma Course offers PAs and NPs an exciting look at current state of the art fracture management. The course brings together leaders in Orthopaedic Trauma for lectures, case-based presentations, and lab sessions that illustrate the best practices in fracture care. The course discussions also include best practices for integration, billing, and coding for PAs and NPs in Orthopaedics. This course is intended for PAs and NPs who are early on in their careers or experience of treating orthopaedic trauma while practicing in general orthopaedics, taking acute orthopaedic call with inpatient/outpatient or caring for orthopaedic injuries in ER/UC/General Trauma services. ALL levels of experience PAs and NPs are invited to register and attend. The course is not intended to be taken on a recurring/annual basis. Instead, the course serves as a foundation to progress to other OTA Course offerings like the Resident Comprehensive Fracture and Advanced Trauma Courses, Boot Camp, and the OTA Annual Meeting.
